Mr.. lie Grand B. Cannon, President or
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany, has given the labor problem much
thought. Recently he has suggested a
plan to secure harmony between labor
and capital, which, to quote his words, is
as follows:
THAT corporations employing various
grades OF labor adopt periods of service,
say each OF six years, and four periods.
Employees. after faithful and continuous
service for the first period, to receive in
the second grade an additional per diem
or monthly increase governed by the
mode OF employment, for the third and
fourth period each a like increase, and on
the expiration of the full service an OPP
ton to either party TO retire or be retired
on pension for life. and in the grade the
periods Of SERVICE"
The principle underlying Mr.. Cannon's
plan is not new. 1t has long been en-
forced in the military service Of most
countries, and also in the civil service of
more than one. Bis plan is a modified
form OF cooperation. The probability is
that it will be a failure when applied to
capital and labor. Corporations are not
benevolent enterprises, nor do they feel
toward their employees as governments
feel. In employing a laborer corporations
are actuated solely by the amount and
quality OF service he can render, and
when he ceases TO be effective they no
longer have use for him. In the
case OF governments the lahorer
works for the people, and it is not un-
natural that they should desire 10 pro-
vide for him which by reason OF sickness
or old age ne becomes incapacitsted.
Another objection to Mr.. Cannon's plan
is that corporations, unlike governments,
are not stable. They rise and fall so rap
IDLY thpt in many instances laborers
would be thrown out OF employment
many times before the end OF the
four periods ne mentions. Not only
10 this true. but the large majority Of
corporations arc not rich enough to sup
port pensioners. 1t Is we'll known fact
thata very large number OF corporations
are without surplus capital, not to men
ton surplus capital which they eau
afford to let lie la idleuess. Finally,
what would Mr. Cannon do with the
laborer in case the corporations, as they
often DO, should become bankrupt
What the laborer wants is present
remedy. He cannot afford to take any
chances. lie depends upon his daily
wages for his livelihood, and those wages,
he contends, must be sufficient to meet
his wants. When he does not get what
he thinks he ought to have, and there is
a clash between him and capitalists,
there seems to be but one remedy, and
that is arbitration.

From the NGrch Century.
And art thou then, my heart, too old,
Ever to leap with love again,
To feel the strong blood torrent rolled
Through heavng breast and taemlng brain
Is it no more, my heart. for thee
Lies one unquestiont ecstacy?
Are faded quite those dim, far days
When music moth red every sound,
When up and down Youths happy ways
Fared glOries on eternal rounI2
Has chill Of years killei every joy
That blossomed Tor the wandering boy?
These are tho trees once known so well
We felt To them all but beknowu;
Their very shadow we cou q tell
From others By the forest thrown.
The same glad songs from bush and bough-
AS once we heard, we hear them now.
And these sweet flowers beneath nv feet,
heir young ewes greet Us a. of yore.
The hope there! Stiil they think te meet
Her & ance that shall not answer more:
10 Us alone il cannot be
They're looking mp SO tenderly.
This is the same gray path we took
Behind the slo" ly going day;
A they do now The light leaves shook
When evening breeZes blew this way;
Ana there's the glow upon the dome,
And here the COWS are coming home.
All, no, good heart. thou still canst stir,
Still lives the love first bid thee leap:
still are we at the side OF her
They lald aw y meath yonder steep,
Though clods be on her and a S one,
In the dear old lane we're not al me.

formers, Prohibitionists, Green hackers.
Land Reformers, Woman SuGragists,
Changers, and many too erratic 10 be
classified. The convention formulated
principles and announced them in the
shape Of platform. The preamble APP
peals to the p eople of the whole country
to come out orthe old party organization 5
and help to organize new politics
party, not sectional, put national, whose
members shall be called commoners.
1t is not difficult to organize new polit-
zeal parties. Scarcely year passes but
t5atone or more come into life. There is
dif1culty, however, in keeping tn EN- alive.
1t is not often that one of them Is based
upon more than a single principle. If
the principle Is good or popular
one, 1t becomes incorporated into the
platform of one or tue other OF the old
parties, and there is no longer need Tor
new party. Ii 1t is a bad primer pie, the
new party soon dies without interferen ce
from outside influences.
The new party which the labor con-
vention met to organizs is not likely TO
live. There is no good reason why it
should. Its good principles will be
seized upon bv one or the other OF the two
old parties, and Its bad ones will never
command respectable support. Be-
sides, the representatives OF the divers e
interests that were huddled toge Their in
the convention lacked practical ity. They
did not represent any clearly defined or
positive ideas about the policy OF govern
ment, nor did they seem to know
what they wanted to do. By
practical men they have long
been rated as visionar les. They
have sometimes pointed out abuses, but
they have seldom pointed out the rem
edies for them. They ar 9 agitators, dis
satisfied with the existing order OF things,
but, on account of the il extreme views,
they do not attract either large or
an influential following. Another cause
OF their failures is their habit of
hobby riding. They have attempted TO
unite, each mounted upon his particular
hobby, ana refusing to dismount in the
interest of harmony and strength There
has, therefore, been no real union among
them, and they have gone on falling
apart, and then at intervals again at.
tempting to unite.
The labor convention. however, may
not be without good results. In its plat
form attention is called to a mum Der of
abuses, and in one instance, at least, a
proper remedy is suggested. "Arbitra-
tion," says the platform, "should take
the place OF strikes and other injurious
methods OF settling labor disputes"
